Design Makes the World Better
Although the world is “getting smaller and smaller” thanks to the development of technology, I still believe that challenges will occur as people from all around the world communicate with each other. We come from different continents, and we have different languages, histories, and cultures. These differences will make the communication process harder. But after taking this class, I believe that we can overcome those challenges by using “design”.
Even though we have different culture background, we tend to agree what a good piece of design is. Our aesthetic on design works is not as different as our nationalities. This is definitely helpful for the communication process.
“Design” is also a useful approach to learn cultures of other countries. We don’t have that many chances (money and time) to understand a culture by traveling and living in that area. Books seem too boring and too long for a lot of people. At this situation, design works become a good resource that can help people learn a culture. A poster, a sculpture, an artwork… I believe that they are better than textbooks.
